$$\eqalign{ & \because {\text{Ratio of shares}} \cr & = 11:16.5:8.25 \cr & = 4:6:3 \cr & {\text{Anil's share}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {19.5 \times \frac{3}{{13}}} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs. }}{\text{4}}{\text{.5 lakh}} \cr & \therefore {\text{Required amount}} \cr & = 50\% {\text{ of 4}}{\text{.5 lakh}} \cr & = {\text{Rs. }}{\text{2}}{\text{.25 lakh}} \cr} $$
